YREKA – A Yreka juvenile was airlifted to Shasta Regional Medical Center in Redding on Monday evening following a collision on Fort Jones Road at the Walmart entrance, said Yreka Police Department Lt. Dave Gamache.

Units were dispatched at 6:19 p.m. following a report of a two-vehicle collision.

William Marshall, 19, was traveling southbound on Fort Jones Road in a 2000 Ford Taurus with a female teen in the passenger seat and two children in the backseat. All the vehicle occupants are from Yreka.

Marshall proceeded to make a left-hand turn into the Walmart parking lot and failed to observe an approaching northbound 2008 Ford pickup.

The pickup, driven by Natalie Rizzardo, 35, of Yreka, struck the side of the Ford Taurus. Rizzardo had the right-of-way, Gamache noted.
